On February 12th, District 3 Assembly Member Danny O'Donnell came to PS 166 to talk to students about the importance of energy conservation.  He presented our school with a beautiful framed Proclamation to commend us for our participation in the Green Cup Challenge: an inter-school energy conservation competition sponsored by the Green Schools Alliance.  PS 166 is one of four Manhattan public schools to have enrolled in the 4th annual Green Cup Challenge which took place in New York from January 15th to February 12th. This year, some 200 schools in 22 states participated; 53 of those were in New York City. Last year, 120 schools in 24 states reduced their aggregate carbon emissions by 2.5 million pounds: the equivalent of taking 220 cars off the road for one year!
